Why use burn captions into video

A huge font library

Search a large catalogue of free fonts, each previewed in its own style and downloaded when you pick it. Fonts for Hindi, Arabic, Tamil and other scripts included.

Upload your own font

Add any .ttf or .otf file from your phone and use it on your captions, so every video carries your brand font.

Colour, outline and background

Set text colour, outline thickness, a background box with its own transparency and padding.

Animate and position

Animate captions in, drag them anywhere on the frame, and preview every choice looping on the caption.

Save your look

Save a style as a preset and apply it to the next video in one tap, so every post matches your brand.

FAQ

Burn captions into video: common questions

Can I use my own font?

Yes. In the Font panel tap Add custom font and pick a .ttf or .otf file from your phone. It appears in your font list and works like any other font, including in exported videos.

Will the captions be part of the video?

Yes. "Video with captions" draws them into the frames, so they show everywhere: Instagram, YouTube Shorts, WhatsApp and any player.

Can I add soft subtitles instead?

Yes. Choose "Captions only" to export a subtitle file such as SRT or VTT that viewers can switch on and off.
